Just for your and anyone's benefit, the general rule with mags is buy factory, Mec-Gar, or well noted MilSurp and nothing else. Factory mags can obviously be trusted, as can Mec-Gars since they pretty much make all factory mags anyway, and in some cases you can trust a military surplus mag if it's got a good enough reputation (Airtronics mags for Beretta M9/92 pistols for example). If its a weird mag with no markings that can be discerned, don't risk it, even if it's 10 bucks, just don't risk it and buy some ammo or something.

That's why I didn't order any mags for my FAL; DSA didn't have any in stock and everywhere I looked had nothing other than Korean/no-name mags

I took the time to do a little reading and with some google results I found that the Inch FALs can take both mags and the Metrics are the picky ones (and apparently with more than just magazines. Do you have a source that says otherwise?

Maybe that's what it was. I haven't read up on them since I purchased one. Mine's an inch lower and upper but the receiver is IMBEL which is metric which I guess Century modified it to take inch mags rather supply them metric ones.

I've only tried inch mags in mine so no idea how the metric even fit in it. Glad to see someone here actually researches things. Unlike me

Just took some trigger pull guage readings, she averages about 4 3/4 a couple were about 4.5 and none over 5. People claim these avaerage 6 pounds and are kind of heavy, guess im lucky or the internet bs machine was at work.
